PARADE: Push politicos forward

| July 13, 2014 9:00 PM

I love the Coeur d’Alene Fourth of July parade! It is pure “Americana” and reminds us of the freedoms we have in this great country.

That being said, I’d like to know why the various entries from the political groups (KCRCC, Reagan Republicans, Democrats, etc.) were stuck far back in the parade in their own little rolling “ghetto.” And, once again, the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee members were handing out flags to thousands of parade watchers, so why weren’t they placed at the very beginning of the parade so flags could be waved throughout the duration of the parade?

I hope this can be changed for next year and ensuing parades!
